World Theatre Day—Dreams Deferred: Crossing Continents and Cultures with A Raisin in the Sun
Celebrate World Theatre Day with performances from South Africa, Sweden, and the US of an American classic A Raisin in the Sun. Dreams Deferred: Crossing Continents and Cultures with A Raisin in the Sun event is produced by The Lab and the Global Theater Initiative in partnership with the Swedish Embassy, and in association with the South African Embassy, Riksteatern, and the International Theatre Institute.
Livestreaming on HowlRound TV at howlround.tv Monday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. EDT (New York) / 23:30 UTC / Tuesday, March 28 at 12:30 a.m. BST (London) / Tuesday, March 28 at 1:30 a.m. SAST (Johannesburg) / Tuesday, March 28 at 7:30 a.m. CST (Shanghai).
Groundbreaking at the time, the 1959 Broadway play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry showcased to a wider public the struggles of a poor African-American family in the United States. Prominent high profile productions took place for the first time ever in 2016 in Sweden, directed by Josette Bushell-Mingo, OBE, and at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg, directed by James Ngcobo. Arena Stage’s Mead Center for the American Theatre in Washington, DC will produce the play in April of 2017.
Dreams Deferred, a one-night-only event, will explore the resonance of this classic play in three different cultural contexts—South Africa, Sweden, and the United States—as well as the larger cross-current themes of racial equality and justice, the legacies of author Lorraine Hansberry, the Civil Rights Movement, and Apartheid.
The evening will include scenes from A Raisin in the Sun and other pieces artistically inspired by the monumental legacy of Hansberry’s play.
Welcome remarks:
Ambassador Mninwa Mahlangu, Embassy of South Africa
Linda Zachrison, Cultural Counselor, Embassy of Sweden
Discussion:
James Ngcobo, Artistic Director, Market Theatre (Johannesburg)
Josette Bushell-Mingo, OBE, Artistic Director, Riksteatern (Stockholm)

10 Pioneers of Trash Television
Tabloid television, or as critics refer to it, “Trash TV,” is made up of abrasive talk shows that set up confrontations and consciously try to be controversial and shocking. Despite being panned for their lowbrow nature and appealing to the lowest common denominator, tabloid talk shows have struck a chord with television audiences and have been popular for the past 50 years.

Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse -
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 -
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought -
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times -
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 -
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution -

FIRE ISLAND NEW YORK /NUDE BEACH
We spent one of our last summer Saturdays at Fire Island... an hour after relaxing in the sun and sand we realized there were some people that were free and clothing was optional. Aside from that small detail, the houses and beaches were beautiful! Plus, there are wild deer that roam the wooden walkways - straight chillin'!
Hope you guys enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
It's short... live it!
